Perhaps, but we’re talking about a level of subjectivity regarding being “exciting.” That applies to the individual as much as the collective, and I found Pleiss less exciting than Stockton (not to say I was excited about Stockton, per se, but I enjoyed the bridge to the past).Regardless of how you felt, there were a lot of people who thought he had legit shot of being a rotation player before he stepped foot on the court. The guy had legit size and was a proven player overseas.
Everyone knew Stockton would never make the team this upcoming year.
